First everything Im about to say is my opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it.

After several people give their opinions you can get a general consensus but....

IMHO
While N frame 357's are really neat guns as far as HP models go the 28-2 is the bare bones version of the Model 27 and isnt a very rare gun.

While there are rare configurations in every model line it is usually the older guns pre dating model numbers with low serial numbers begining with S that are more "rare" and sought after .


N frame 357's have gone up in value recently and is probably worth considerably more money than Gander would offer you and what you probably thought it was worth.

Without pictures or more details especially on condition including if the the grips are original and if you have the box and docs it is hard to estimate its exact value.

I valued my 6" 28-2 at about $400 before recently trading it for a K frame model 66 worth about the same.
